2. USB-to-serial adapter - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-to-serial_adapter

   A USB-to-serial adapter or simply USB adapter is a type of protocol converter that is used for converting USB data signals to and from serial communications standards (serial ports). Most commonly the USB data signals are converted to either RS-232 , RS-485 , RS-422 , or TTL-level UART serial data.

3. Serial port - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_port

   While interfaces such as Ethernet, FireWire, and USB also send data as a serial stream, the term serial port usually denotes hardware compliant with RS-232 or a related standard, such as RS-485 or RS-422. Modern consumer personal computers (PCs) have largely replaced serial ports with higher-speed standards, primarily USB.

4. COM (hardware interface) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COM_(hardware_interface)

   Today, few consumer-grade PC-compatible computers include COM ports, [3] though some of them do still include a COM header on the motherboard. [4] After the RS-232 COM port was removed from most consumer-grade computers, an external USB-to-UART serial adapter cable was used to compensate for the loss. A major supplier of these chips is FTDI.

   USB 3.x and USB 1.x Type-A plugs and receptacles are designed to interoperate. To achieve USB 3.0's SuperSpeed (and SuperSpeed+ for USB 3.1 Gen 2), 5 extra pins are added to the unused area of the original 4 pin USB 1.0 design, making USB 3.0 Type-A plugs and receptacles backward compatible to those of USB 1.0.

7. Palm Universal Connector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Universal_Connector

   The Universal Connector cradles were the first synchronization device that used USB to communicate with the host computer, in addition to the older serial port standard. Some Palm devices manufactured between 2001 and 2004 did not use the Universal Connector. For instance, the Tungsten E had a mini-USB connector.
